Chapter 21.1, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The isomeric products of the chlorination of 2- butanone have to be stated. The structural formulas for the enol intermediates of 2- butanone have to be drawn. Also, the reaction mechanism of each enol intermediate with Cl2 has to be shown using curved arrows to show the electrons flow.

Concept Introduction:

>

Enol refers to an intermediate structure that consists of an alkene group connected with a hydroxyl group at one end of its double bond.

>

Enols are seen as an alkene with a powerful electron donating substituent. They are even more reactive as compared to a simple alkene due to the presence of the hydroxyl group.

>

The formation of enol occurs when a molecule contains protons on its alpha carbon atom. The extraction of protons takes place from the alpha carbon atom of the molecule to form an enol.
